## What is Zero Considerations?

A ballistics calculator that reads the paper. Photograph your shot group and Zero Considerations gives you the exact clicks your turret takes to move point of impact onto point of aim.

Everything that measures and calculates runs on your phone, with no signal. Your firearms, loads, photos and results never leave your device. The one part that uses the internet is the optional weather fill, which sends an approximate location to a weather service and stores nothing. Leave it off and the app never touches the network.

SIGHT IN FROM A PHOTO
• Shoot your group, photograph the target, and the app finds the target and the holes, measures the group against your point of aim, and gives the exact click adjustments for your turret.
• 1,273 optic entries carry the makers' own click values, so the same scope in MOA and in MIL gets the right answer.
• Scale comes from a printed target with coded corners that also squares up camera tilt, or from a store-bought target the app recognizes. Type a known span for anything else. A manual fallback always works.
• Sighting in indoors? Proxy zero works out where to print at 25 yards so you should be on paper at 100. The app calls a proxy zero a prediction, because that is what it is.
• If it is not sure it has your target, it shows you the photo and asks. It will not print a confident call it cannot stand behind.

BALLISTICS THAT MATCH YOUR RIFLE
• Drop, wind and energy in MOA, MIL or clicks.
• Temperature, pressure, humidity and wind fill in from your phone, or type them yourself.
• A wind dial you drag to your call, with optional compass capture.
• Point-blank range and maximum ordinate.
• Zero and true: from a photographed group at a known distance, back out your true muzzle velocity so your dope matches what the rifle actually does.

KNOW YOUR OPTIC BEFORE YOU SHOOT
• 540 reticle patterns drawn to the makers' published subtension sheets wherever the maker publishes the numbers, to scale, so you can see your real holdovers — and where one never did, the app says so on the reticle.
• A suggested zero distance for each reticle, based on your load.
• A mount and riser calculator that works out true height over bore from your rail and mount, offset optics included. Bore sight it, then confirm the zero on paper.

SET UP YOUR RIGS ONCE
• Save firearms, optics, mounts, loads and lasers as setups you reuse.
• 852 firearms and 512 factory loads built in, or add your own.
• Device loadouts: primary optic, offset, laser and irons on one rifle, each with its own zero.

WHAT IT COSTS
• One purchase. No subscription, no ads, no analytics, no account.

For education and lawful sporting use. Always verify your zero and dope on paper before relying on them.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-10-31*

This app is a great replacement for the strelok app that a lot of people lost. It is easy to put in all your info on the loads you use and your scope. I’ve been using it in the field and has been dead on as long as I do my part. The developer has also been great to work with. He responded quickly and if you don’t see your scope on the list he can add them.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this review, and for trusting the app in the field. Hearing that it's been dead on means a lot to us, and we really appreciate you taking the time to share it. We're always willing to add any optic or mount that isn't in the app yet. Just email us at support@zeroconsiderations.com.

## Frequently asked questions about Zero Considerations

### How does Zero Considerations help me sight in?

You photograph your shot group, and Zero Considerations analyzes the image to determine the exact click adjustments needed for your firearm's turret to move the point of impact to the point of aim. It can identify the target and holes, measure the group, and provide precise corrections.

### Can I use Zero Considerations without an internet connection?

Yes, the core ballistics calculations and features run entirely on your phone without needing a signal. The only optional internet use is for weather fill, which can be disabled entirely, making the app fully offline.

### What is a 'proxy zero' in Zero Considerations?

A proxy zero is a predicted zero distance calculated by the app for indoor sighting. It determines where to print at 25 yards so that your shots should be on paper at 100 yards, acting as a helpful prediction for initial sighting.

### How does Zero Considerations handle different optics and reticles?

The app includes 1,219 optic entries with makers' click values for accurate calculations. It also features 487 reticle patterns drawn to scale based on published subtension sheets, allowing you to visualize real holdovers and suggested zero distances.

### What firearms and loads are included in Zero Considerations?

The app comes with 852 firearms and 512 factory loads built-in. You also have the option to add your own custom firearms and loads for personalized calculations.

### What is the cost of Zero Considerations?

Zero Considerations is a one-time purchase at $9.99. There are no subscriptions, ads, analytics, or accounts required.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.8.6 — 2026-10-31

New scope: Athlon Helos BTR Gen 2 2-12x42 with the AHMR2 FFP IR MOA reticle, drawn from Athlon's own reticle sheet.
The zoom tip under the reticle now fits on one line.
With very large text sizes, the Environment header, the Results card and the trajectory table stay readable, with every number kept next to its unit.

### 1.8.5 — 2026-10-27

Scope power: on second focal plane scopes, set the power you are on and the holds on the reticle change to match.
Zoom in on the reticle: pinch or double-tap to get a closer look at where each hold mark lands.
Uphill and downhill: set your shot angle and the holds allow for it.
Iron sights are now drawn as a front post and rear aperture.
On iOS 27, the back button at the top of each screen always shows and works.

### 1.8.4 — 2026-10-24

Wind on the reticle: set your wind and the hold point moves for it, with a list of your holds at every distance.
50 Nightforce NXS scopes added, each with Nightforce's click values and the reticle drawn from Nightforce's published reticle sheet. More Nightforce reticles redrawn to match the maker's measurements.
Pistols and pistol-caliber carbines get distances that suit them.
On iPhone, your rifles, scopes and loads are now included in your iCloud backup.

### 1.8.3 — 2026-10-04

176 more Vortex optics, including the Venom 1-6x24: scopes, red dots and prisms, each with Vortex's own click values and a reticle drawn to Vortex's published reticle sheet.
Multi-reticle red dots: pick the dot, the circle, or both.
Scopes with different elevation and windage clicks now get the right number of windage clicks.
A simpler scale step.

### 1.8.2 — 2026-09-17

Steadier hits from the target photo, and less waiting.

• Targets printed from the app are recognized on their own and measured from their corner markers, so their hits are found more reliably.
• Type the target size once at the photo step; the aim-point screen remembers it.
• Partially readable corner markers no longer hold up the analysis.
• A second string reuses the target found on the first photo.
• Elevation and windage are measured on their own axes, so tilted targets price correctly.
